A Beagle-mix, she's only 1 year old and is just right to take into a home too busy for all the puppy training. She weighs about 20 pounds and is near her adult weight. She's had all shots and been wormed is set for a new adventure. She can be rescued and adopted at Newton County Animal Shelter, located at 210 Lower River Road in Covington.
